[W126 Coupe] Front end question.

[john dunne]

Suggestions please:

Some years ago  I installed H&R springs etc from Bergwerks  when going 
to 18" AMGs.  Getting the car to drive straight was  an ordeal the 
dealer finally solved with a correct MB alignment.

I just put the 15's with winter new winter rubber and now there is a 
slight pull to the right, just  enough to be annoying.
Unfortunately the dealer is telling me that the car is too low on one 
side, a front spring(s) are shot and I have to put OEM springs front 
and rear to MB spec to raise it up or they can't ( won't) work on it.  
New owner of dealer since they last worked on the suspension.

Since that cost,  along with some other minor work, tune up etc they 
are doing, would be more than the car is currently worth I'm going to 
pass of course but;

Can the springs be bad -  left front will bottom out into top of wheel 
well on dips at speed on 15's and 18's ?
Are similar lowered set available anywhere ?
WHo else other  than an MB dealer may be able to get it right ?
Suggestions ?

I'm going to get through one more winter then unload it for whatever I 
can get for it and sell off the AMGs and sound system I guess.  Shame 
about the non-existent re-sale value of these secs though.
